As a topic, organization design is poorly understood. While it is
featured in most management books as a chapter dedicated to
organizational structures, it is unclear whether organization
design is a one-off event or an ongoing process. Thus, it has
traditionally been understood to be the same as an organizational
configuration, with neat lines of communication and distribution of
responsibilities following pre-set typologies. Yet what can be said
to constitute organizational structure in this first half of the
21st century? The extraordinary growth of digital communications,
the decreasing relevance of hierarchical bureaucracies, and the
general demise of command-and-control have all but decimated the
traditional notion of organizational structure. Organization design
needs a theoretical revamping. Using a mix of design and social
science theories and concepts, Rodrigo Magalhaes outlines a new
human-centric interpretation of design, design principles, and
design culture. He puts forward a paradigm where the organization,
for purposes of its design, is considered to be a social actor in a
permanent state of transformation, with significant repercussions
for social and economic life. He also proposes a model of
'leaderful organization design', distinguished as practice-based,
guided by values of democratic participation, and driven by design
logics which places meaning-making and meaning-taking at the center
of organizational life and can be adopted and adapted to suit
different environments.
